Apple has announced the much-discussed iPhone Air, an ultra-thin addition to the iPhone series that replaces the Plus model. This model is particularly striking due to its slim design of only 5.64 millimeters thick, making it the thinnest iPhone ever, and has a 6.5-inch OLED screen with 120Hz promotion technology.
This iPhone is packed with new techniques and is mainly focused on users who value a minimalist and light device. In addition to the striking design, the iPhone Air is equipped with the powerful A19 chip, a single 48-megapixel wide-angle camera and support for ESIM only.
iPhone Air-Design
The iPhone Air is distinguished by the thinnest design ever realized in an iPhone, with a thickness of just 5.64 millimeters. This slender design combines a lightweight and sleek appearance with a 6.5-inch OLED display with 120Hz support, a Dynamic Island and Face ID support.
Due to the exceptionally thin design, the iPhone Air is equipped with only one 48-megapixel wide-angle camera on the back, which is a compromise compared to the dual or triple camera setups of the Pro models. This minimalist design ensures that the device remains compact and elegant.
Housing of titanium
The iPhone Air has a light and durable titanium housing. This ensures that the air is super strong, despite its thin design. This year it is the only variant within the iPhone 17 series with a titanium chassis, in contrast to previous years in which Titanium was only available for pro models.
120HZ Display without always on
The iPhone Air has a 6.6-inch 120Hz Super Retina XDR OLED display that provides smoother images and smoother animations, and supports promotion function with adaptive refresh speeds. This also means that the Always-on screen has display, which means that the refresh speed is constant and therefore additional energy saving is possible through dynamic adjustments.
With this 120Hz change speed, scrolling and user interface movements are clearly smoother than with a traditional 60Hz screen. In addition, the screen also benefits from lower refreshing speeds at static images thanks to Promotion, making it possible to always be possible.
Apple has made special equipment that adds a strong anti-reflection layer to the iPhone screen, which is also more resistant to scratches. In combination with the Ceramic Shield 2, the Pro display is stronger, scratch -resistant and less reflective.
A19 Pro processor
The iPhone Air has a fast A19 Pro Bionic 3-Nanometer processor with a 16-Core Neural Engine. This chip performs simple and advanced tasks energy efficiently. This helps the processor to improve the battery life. The A19 Pro chip is faster and more economical than the A18 chip, but there are no major changes.
Single camera system
The iPhone Air has a single 48-megapixel wide-angle camera on the back, which focuses on general photography with support for functions such as night mode, portrait mode and 4K video recordings. As a result, the device lacks an ultra-wide angle and telephoto lens, which means that optical zom options are limited and Apple applies software solutions to zoom in without too much quality loss.
At the front, the iPhone Air has an improved 18-megapixel selfie camera, which ensures sharper portrait photos and video calls of higher quality. This way you can even take lying photos when you keep your iPhone upright thanks to the new sensor. This upgrade in the front camera is part of a wider improvement that all iPhone 17 models get, which makes selfies and facetime conversations look strikingly better.
No SIM card holder
To keep the design as thin as possible, Apple has not added a physical SIM card holder to the iPhone and Esim is only possible. This is already the case for the earlier iPhone models in the US and has been introduced worldwide with the iPhone Air.
Own 5G modem and WiFi 7
iPhone Air is equipped with N1, a new, Apple -designed wireless network chip that makes WI -Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and Thread possible. In addition to driving the latest generation of wireless technologies, N1 also improves the general performance and reliability of functions such as personal hotspot and AirDrop.
iPhone Air also has C1X, a newly designed cellular modem designed by Apple. C1X is up to 2 × faster than C1 and, for the same mobile technologies, even faster than the modem in iPhone 16 Pro, while it consumes a total of 30 percent less energy. This makes C1X the most energy -efficient modem ever in an iPhone.
Battery for the entire day
The iPhone Air has a relatively small battery capacity on paper than the batteries of earlier iPhone models such as the iPhone 16. Yet the iPhone Air has a battery life for the entire day.
Because the device is so thin, Apple had to make compromises in the battery size, but they compensate for this with new software functions such as the Adaptive Power Mode in iOS 26. The A19 chip, C1X modem, WiFi and Bluetooth chip also ensures the highly improved battery life full of optimization.
